The Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale invite applications for the Keggi-Berzins Fellowships for Baltic Studies. Prizes of up to $2,000 will be awarded to current Yale undergraduates and graduate students for research or language study in or about a Baltic country (Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia) in the summer.
Pre-dissertation and dissertation grants are available for Ph.D. candidates who wish either to determine the feasibility of a dissertation topic or conduct research on that topic. Grants are also available to European and Russian Studies and Global Studies Master's students at the end of their first year of study. Students in the professional schools are also eligible. Grants are available to undergraduates who wish to conduct research or work in an internship related to Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania during the summer before the junior or senior year.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All undergraduate students must adhere to the Yale University International Travel Policy. For more information go to http://www.yale.edu/yalecol/international/travel/policy.html
Yale University policy requires that certain types of research projects involving human subjects be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to the start of the study to ensure that the project meets University Policy and any other applicable regulations. To see if your project needs to be reviewed, for advice on working with human subjects, and for more information about the IRB process and requirements go to http://www.yale.edu/hsc/Investigator/Student_projects.pdf . Consider contacting IRB, if necessary, well before April, when review time may take up to 25 days.
